SMARC-sAMX6i / Introduction

2 Introduction

2.1 Product Description

The small-sized SMARC™ Module with Freescale i.MX6 processor offers a wide range of processor scalability with single, dual and quadcore processors. The X86 alike interfacing of SMARC-sAMX6i allows an easy integration in any kind of application.

2.2 SMARC™ Computer-on-Modules

The SMARC™ standard was developed especially for new modules with ARM- and SOC-processors and is characterized by the extremely flat build of its form factor. It is based on the MXM 3.0 connector with 314 pins and a construction height of just 4.3 millimeters and it thus allows robust and flatly constructed designs with a cost-effective card edge connector. The connector is also available in a shock- and vibration-resistant version for rough environmental conditions. Furthermore, the standard integrates dedicated interfaces for the latest ARM and SOC processors which not only means LVDS, 24-bit RGB and HDMI support but also support of embedded DisplayPort for future designs. In addition, and for the first time, dedicated camera interfaces are being incorporated into a COM standard. OEMs profit from minimized design effort and bill of material costs. SMARC™ defines two different module sizes in order to offer a high level of flexibility regarding different mechanical requirements: a short modules measuring 82 mm x 50 mm and a full-size module measuring 82 mm x 80 mm.

SMARC™ is the low-power embedded architecture platform for computer-on-modules based on ARM technology.

» Creating mobile, embedded, connected solutions

» Scalable building blocks

» Optimized pin-out definition for ARM technology

» Ultra low-power, low-profile solutions

» Constructed to withstand harsh industrial environments

3.2 Modules & Accessories

The SMARC small sized Computer-on-Module SMARC-sAMX6i (SMX6) is compatible to SMARC V1.0. The SMARC-sAMX6i, based on Freescale's iMX6 platform, is available in different variants to cover the demand of different performance, price and power:

Part Number Product Name Processor DDR3 Flash SATA

51003-0540-08-1 SMARC-sAMX6i 0.8 512/4GB Freescale i.MX6 solo, 800MHz, industrial grade 512MB 4GB SLC -

51003-1040-08-2 SMARC-sAMX6i 2×0.8 1/4GB Freescale i.MX6 dual, 800MHz, industrial grade 1GB 4GB SLC YES

51003-1040-08-4 SMARC-sAMX6i 4×0.8 1/4GB Freescale i.MX6 quad, 800MHz, industrial grade 1GB 4GB SLC YES

Memory and onboard Flash configurations 51003-MMFF-xx-x:

» MM = 05: 512MB DDR3 Memory

» MM = 10: 1024MB DDR3 Memory

» MM = 20: 2048MB DDR3 Memory

» FF = 00: without onboard eMMC

» FF = 40: 4GB onboard eMMC (SLC)

» FF = 80: 8GB onboard eMMC (SLC)

» FF = 16: 16GB onboard eMMC (SLC)

» FF = 32: 32GB onboard eMMC (SLC)

On request we can also offer MLC eMMC flash devices

Optional hardware features:

» 3 PCIe instead of 1 lane

» 3 I2S instead of 1 I2S, but then with only 16bit parallel LCD interface instead of 24bit

» any other available pin compatible Freescale i.MX6 processor can be mounted

Optional hardware and firmware features are available project based only for variants not listed above. Please contact your local sales for customized articles.
